Abstract
This study attempts to examine Second National Fadama Project implementation through the Community-Driven Development strategy in Kaduna and Katsina states with the aim of finding out whether the project implementation has achieved its objectives of poverty reduction among the participating communities or not. Three hypotheses were formulated to ascertain the claim on the relationship between Community-Driven Development and success of the project as implemented, which include: That there is no relationship between the Community-Driven Development strategy and successful implementation of Fadama II project; That there is no relationship between participation and conflict resolution among the Fadama User Groups in the implementation of Fadama II project; That there is no relationship between provision of infrastructure and successful implantation of Fadama II project. The dissertation made use of both primary data in form of questionnaire, interview and observation, and secondary data in form of Books, Journals, unpublished materials and internet facilities. The dissertation made use of statistical analysis instruments in the presentation of the data, i.e. it made use of both descriptive and inferential statistical tools. The former refers to the statistical methods which are used to describe and summarise data. The latter are those statistical tools that are used in situations where a sample was drawn from the population and the findings from the sample can be generalised to the population. The descriptive analysis in this research was by way of an SPSS output. The findings showed that there is relationship between Community-Driven Development and effective implementation of the project. It was also found that there was late and inadequate supply of fertilizer to the beneficiaries. It was also found that there was the problem of political interference in the selection of the group members of the associations’ because of the benefits of the projects. It was found out that the project did not provide for access to financial facilities that will assist the beneficiaries to boost their assets acquisition capacity. The research recommends that to enhance the success of future projects, the government should no longer interfere with activities of such projects, especially formation and membership of the associations. There should also be early distribution of fertilizer to the beneficiaries in order for them to apply the commodity at the right time and that future projects should provide for financial loan facilities to the beneficiaries in order to boost their assets acquisition capacity.
